Servings 8 large rolls

Ingredients
  

Filling

  • ½ cup butter, melted 4oz/120g
  • 1¼ cups light brown sugar 7 ½ oz /210g
  • 2½ tablespoons ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • ½ cup Cream cheese, room temperature 4 oz/120g
  • 1 cup powdered sugar 4oz/120g
  • ¼ cup butter, room temperature 1/2 stick/ 2oz
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • After your crazy dough recipe has proofed prepare the filling: Combine the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
  • Once the dough has proofed transfer to a floured work surface, and roll it into a rectangle approximately 20 inches x 16 inches. It will be long so you can always do it in 2 goes.
  • Spread the filling over the dough, leaving a narrow margin around the edges uncovered.
  • Starting with a long edge, gently roll the dough into a log. Don't roll it too tightly. If you do, the centers of the buns will pop up as they bake.
  • Slice the rolls 2 inches thick and set them filling side up in a deep baking pan. (AT THIS POINT YOU CAN REFRIGERATE TO BAKE OFF THE FOLLOWING DAY IF YOU WISH)
  • Cover the pan, and allow the rolls to rise until they're have grown into each other and are puffed up, about 45 minutes - 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375oF/ 190oC. Uncover the pan and bake the buns for 40 to 45 minutes, until they're a deep golden brown.
  • Rotate the tray during baking so they can get golden brown all over.
  • While they are baking make your glaze: In a large bowl (or you can use a hand mixer) beat the cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla together with a whisk until well combined.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let the rolls cool for 20 minutes. Once cooled remove from the pan and place on a cooling rack.
  • Spread your cream cheese glaze generously over the cinnamon rolls. Enjoy immediately!
